A/C: Press this button to turn the air conditioning
compressor on and off. When you press the button,
an A/C OFF message appears on the climate control
panel’s display. Press the button again and the air
conditioner will return to automatic control. The
system will cool and dehumidify the air inside the
vehicle. In the automatic mode, the air conditioning
compressor only operates when the system determines it
is needed. The A/C OFF function is not available in the
defrost mode.
MODE: Press this button (the right or left arrow)
to deliver air through the floor, instrument panel or
windshield outlets. The climate control system will
stay in the selected mode until the MODE button, the
DEFROST button or the AUTO button is pressed again.
Press the left or right arrow to cycle through the
following available modes.
UPPER: This setting directs airflow through
the middle instrument panel outlets. Your vehicle is
equipped with a driver’s side lap cooler which will also
come on when the upper vents are being used.
BI-LEVEL: This setting directs air into your
vehicle in two ways. Cool air is directed to the upper
portion of your body through the four instrument panel
outlets while warmed air is directed to the floor.
DEFOG: This setting directs air to the floor
outlets and toward the windshield.
HEATER: This setting directs warmed air
through the floor outlets. Some warm air is diverted
to the windshield to minimize fogging.
FAN: The button with the fan symbol adjusts the
fan speed. Press the up arrow to increase fan speed and
the down arrow to decrease fan speed. Press the AUTO
button to set the fan speed for automatic operation.
If it is cold outside, the blower may not run in the
maximum high fan speed right away. The system
checks the temperature of the engine coolant to assure
it is warm enough to provide heat. When the engine
coolant is warm, the controller allows the fan to
gradually increase to a higher speed. This prevents cold
air from blowing into the passenger’s compartment.
Selecting a manual fan speed will override this feature.
